i'm grateful for jason chaffetz and he and the work jim jordan have done on the house side with cut, cap and balance. i want the white house to be engaged. i wish someone would wake the senate up and let them know they need to do something as well. the deadlines are real. they're real for a reason. that is why parties need to get together to decide what they can do. this bill if passed by the house this week will give the president what he wants which is 2.4 trillion dollar, 2.4 trillion dollar increase in the debt limit and no one lays a hand on the affordable care act. that's what the president has laid out that he needs more than anything. okay, mr. president, we're giving you that. we're just attaching some conditions. jon: worth pointing out you're a physician before you came to congress and have made quite a study or made studying the affordable care act sort of a mission of yours. >> it is my new career. jon: we've been asking though, does anybody come out as winners in this debate? seems like, you know, there is stalemate in washington and voters aren't too happy with either
